"I don't know about that..."

Meaning: I actually DO know about that and I disagree, don’t like it, think it’s a bad idea, or have some serious concerns about it.

Use: I say this when I am trying to be polite, kind, don’t want to hurt their feelings, or I am skeptical(suspicious) of their idea.

Pronunciation: Usually, the “I” sound is a little bit longer than usual, and the longer you stretch it, the more you disagree, disapprove, or are suspicious of the what the other person said.
